Hi, can anyone please tell me how to go about copying the link of songs onto my site? So many do it for the songtitle challenge, which is fabulous to have. I have looked but did nut see anything It would be much appreciated, thanks.

What @kali66 said!
1. Google the song title. This will provide YouTube links (or other music sites where the song can be played).
2. Click on one of the links to open the website. (Check it is the right song).
3. Copy the full "https...." bit from the address bar at the top of the page
4. Paste the link into the text box of the upload page and click save.

You can always add the link later by clicking the "edit" icon (next to the "comments" speech bubble icon underneath the text description for your photo).

In some cases, you might have to leave a space before and after the link for it to work as a link, otherwise it is a string of characters.

At the bottom of the YouTube screen, you will see the thumbs up and a thumbs down symbols. Next to those is the word "Share". Click on that and it will open another window that contains the URL. Click on the word "Copy" to the right of that and it will save it to your clipboard.

I think if you click on "copy" (left click) and then go to your photo page and select "paste" (right click) it will retrieve the last thing you selected and should add the link.

@ludwigsdiana - The clipboard is nothing more than that your PC remembers what you just copied. After clicking copy, go to where you want to post the link, click on the space with your mouse to place the cursor where you want the link and press the Ctrl and the letter V keys at the same time and it will place or paste the link there.
